As for the position of the Dr; he says: “ I will admit I have been extremely active for |t,’? • The Dr, says they have some good campaign material.and refers’ to the gas ordinance passed by council* He also refers to “defaulting of street tlie'Ford Are engine. The Dr/s 'committee* evidently has dug up something new on. us. The con­ tract made and fulfilled seven years ago by Iliff Eros, .for the first paving has. passed the inapection.of the State Bureau of Accounting and been ap- pre-'ed. Certainly the job speaks for itself. The Dr; also alludes to the il­ legal purchase of .the Ford fire en­ gine several years age. This contract and purchase was on advice of At­ torney Harry D. Smith, village solic­ itor and has also been approved by the State Bureau of Accounting. As will be remembered the engine was purchased under emergency legisla­ tion following the breakdown of the steamer during the war-when repairs could not bp (-secured urn’ er four or five months^ The purchase was a good investment for the taxpayers. It hais saved a $20 a month gas bill that was required to keep the steamer warm and the elimination of. an engineer at $30’ a month. Aj; present the village has the best fire protection of any town of twice its size in tbe state that we know of and our insurance rates show for it. As the Dr. was a non resident un­ til two years ago or so, we fear that his “ committee” needs to, provide ad­ ditional information. The Dr. sayS his committee intends to force an honest clean election If this docs not take place it will be the fault of the election officials, half of whom are Republicans and half Democrats, .. f By/U-thurRWawHl ' 1 i 000.

Ford In­ vites a libel suit by his blunt state­ ment that Weeks "is1selling MusceJ Shoals piecemeal to prevent Fowl’s producing cheap fertilizer there for farmers, thus interfering with the fer­ tilizer trust, which practices extortion noltoriously. _ —jli—■ Ford’s talk is blunt. Every real news­ paper In the United States will print it Weeks accused of destroying what might he made “ the greatest munition plant on earth, our greatest assurance of victory, in case'of war,” to keep Ford from giving cheap fertilizer to' farmers. * - , . * - H I - ' President Coolidge knows that this statement by Ford will be discussed in every farm house in the United States and believed by(i999 out of 1,000 far­ mers , - I I I - / After this attack on Weeks, Ford will be bound to enter the 1924 elec­ tion as a candidate against the Repub lican party, and let farmers decide between him and the Republican ad­ ministration. Ford couldn’t possibly do less. The sane decision that ninety per cent o f the people who own Muscle Shoals would advocate would let Ford take the plant and show what he can do about his promise to supply cheap fertili­ ser and send cheap power 200 miles in all directions, - I l l - Secretary Week’s won’t sue Hertry Ford for libel. He'll ask Congress to investigate-Ford's charges. This shows a Christian spirit, for no Charge could be more serious than Ford’s accusa­ tion against Weeks i - l l l r - Ford, who passes rapidly from one cage to another, like the hoy at the Zoo, now announces a plan to let Ids employes share in the profits of his railroad.

And as he counts up his day’s profits he’JJrealize that a dollar means some­ thing SAYS HE CANNOT UNDERSTAND A local ,citizen stopped. Us on the street the other, day to ask ‘why it was that the village council had no say anymore about rates for gas and electric lights. The answer was easy. When the state law probides foy the settlement of rates through the Ohio Public Utilities Commision, council Can grant the rate asked or let the question go to the state body for a final settlement Village and city of- ficilas have learned that it did not pay to get into a quarrel with the companies over rates as nine times out of ten the; public suffered by get­ ting a poorer service. » When Judson Harmon was govern­ or, having a legislature that Was to his liking, Democratic, the law was passed creating the Public Utilities Commission. The Governor being an attorney for many public service cor­ porations took advantage of the op­ portunity to give the companies just what they wanted. Later on during the term of Gov. J. M. Cox, Democrat; also owner of lajrge gas interests, forced .through the legislature, that Was Democratic, additional legislation that stripped county commissioners and councils in Ohio of what little power Was left under the law that created thMJtili- ties Commission.
